    They should stay in the studio...

    I am a fan of the show and consider its success is due mainly to the consistently sharp writing. This episode is mostly filmed outdoors and relies almost completely on sight gags. I think the humour suffers for it and hope they stay at home and in the studio from now on. I can understand the producers desire to do something different but for the first time I rarely laughed and the episode felt like generic TV sit-com which floods the stream-waves these days.

    • Goofs
      Luke mentions that his fire cracker is from Germany. Since in Germany firework can be bought by everyone older than 18 around New Years Eve for private firework parties, German firework, including fire crackers, is very safe and contains only little amounts of explosives. It would possibly blow up a bird box but definitely not with such an intense fire ball shown in that scene - but fireworks from Poland would do that.
